I discovered just a few days ago the amazing works by the Iranian artist Golsa Golchini, and I am super inspired. I love how she mixes classic painting, ready made and street art in a unique and eye catchy way.
Her style is fresh and bright, the colour palette that she uses makes me want to “eat” these paintings 😀
You can purchase her art here.
I am a massive fan of Emma Sutherland artworks.
Her mixed media explorations are filled with depth and brightness, where there is always a touch of neon colours as well. I enjoy the fact that each piece is carefully layered, where you have to visually “scratch” the surface, to discover all the beauty within each work.
You can also find her on Instagram.
This is an ongoing series called “Gli Strappi Sui Muri” (Tears On The Walls), that I am working on.
“Gli Strappi Sui Muri” (Tears On The Walls), is a brand new series about a personal research on memories and “history layers”. I wanted to imagine a wall where our memories (the photo) get slowly covered by time, represented by paper stripes and paint interventions. Every time we look at a picture it changes in time and space, revealing us a new layer. While we grow up, we connect with our memories in a different level, and time erodes them slowly.
It’s been a while!
Here’s a batch of fresh new works that I am currently working on. I really enjoy to use wood panels and boards lately, and I think that the mixture of vintage portraits and wood gives a magic final touch to each piece.
Moreover, I can magnify the images to create an abstract patterned space around each subject. These works are part of the series “Gentlemen” and “Gentlewomen“.
For these pieces I used a vintage photo attached to a wood panel as a starting point. Then I decorated them using acrylic and gel pens, some of them also have gouache painting in the background.
You can find the whole collection available in my website.

Enjoy the fab mixed media abstract paintings by the British artist Mark Charlton.
Below some words about his intriguing visual research:
His art explores a futuristic vision of space exploration from the perspective of the 1950s telling a story through a stylised visual language. The work represents fragments from salvaged space vessels that have reached the deepest depths of the universe. From the fictitious beginnings of ‘The B-12 Module’ and its scientific mission to Pluto his collections of work track an ongoing journey inspired by a mid century optimism of an unknown but enthralling future of galactic discovery.
You can also find Mark on Saatchi Art, Instagram and Twitter.
Love!
Enjoy the amazing mixed media creations by Karo Knitter.
The artist combines vintage found objects (the framed dried flowers compositions are my fave ones) with her contemporary illustrative style. The result is a beautiful and perfect mix of old & new.
You can follow her on Facebook, Tumblr and check her available pieces on Etsy.
Amazing!
The American mixed media artist Jenna Douglass brings us into her dreamy imaginary travels with a series called “Placial Relations“.
Here’s how Jenna introduces her body of works:
This work addresses place and memory, combining elements of collage, paint, and other media to create the memory of a place in each painting; As I have inhabited several states over the past few years I’ve grown interested in the attachment and loss that comes as one grows fond of a new place and then must leave it.

Amazing!
These kids portraits are quite magical to me. The Artist and photographer Tawny Chatmon turns beautiful portraits into something more beautiful with her handmade interventions on photos.
